FAQs about solar panel servicing

How often should solar panels be serviced?

Solar panels should be serviced once a year, or sooner if you notice reduced output or shading issues.

Do I have to use my original installer?

You don't have to use your original solar panel installer for ongoing servicing. Any checked solar engineer can service your panels, though it’s helpful if they’ve worked with your specific system before.

Can dirty panels reduce efficiency?

Will servicing affect my warranty?

Hiring a certified solar panel engineer to service your panels helps protect your warranty — DIY attempts may invalidate it.
